[The Cat appears on the bookmark screens, black fur looking slightly mussed and one ear cocked at an odd angle as if he's listening to something out of the bookmark range. He lets out a humph and a trill before focusing on the patrons that he's broadcasting to. If some of the patrons listen carefully, they will hear the sound of barking and the occasional 'meow'.]

Good day, everyone. While the portal was open to London, the Librarians received a request from some beings who were looking for a new home. Some of them are canines and felines that are similar to the creatures on most worlds. Others are more... unique. All wish to find companionship here and have asked if our patrons would take them in and befriend them. The Library will find ways to accommodate these creatures needs so there will be no concerns regarding the items required to care for them. If you would like to visit with our new guests, you may find them at the main reception hall.

[When the Cat finishes speaking, a grey Persian cat nudges him so that he can look at the screen as well.]

There is also a feline here that says his name is Church. He says his human is Jem Carstairs but he will settle for Isabelle or Alec Lightwood, or the 'Herondale boy'.

[The Cat looks at Church, canting his head toward the other feline.]

He does have a name you know and there are other Herondales that could be here.

[Church looks unimpressed in the way only cats seem to be able to master.]

Jace Lightwood-Herondale. I would appreciate one of those individuals collecting Church so he might settle in.

The other creatures are eager to join the Library community. Please come by and offer a new home to our guests.

((ooc: Players can post here to talk to the Cat about the new pets or use this post for discussions of the pets with other players. Another post will be made in the log community for those who prefer prose based rp.))

[A distinct thump can be heard a boy hit the ground with a soft thump. He sat up, rubbing the side of his head a bit, looking around a bit, confused and scared looking.

He felt something in his pocket.... something that hadn't been there before. He pulled it out studying it closely. It was a minature version of his storybook. ]

Hello? Hello? Is anyone there? Mom? Gramps? Mom? Anyone?

I don't know where I am, but I miss my family and friends.

[Unlike the first video of awkward introductions, Sebastian appears more confident as the video begins. It's a bit of an odd angle until he gets into position holding the camera up in front of himself.]

"Hello. I'm Sebastian. Um...I was thinking about how weird time feels here for me and about when it was I left New York. It was after the Holidays and it was snowing. I don't know how long I've been here. I sort of lost track-um. I'm sorry. I ramble when I'm nervous. My point is I had an idea."

[Shifting so everyone can see behind him one of the atriums.]

"I don't want to call it a Holiday like Thanksgiving, but I was thinking this area would be nice for a dinner. Something we could all share. Especially after...well, after everything that has happened recently. I realized we're all here and...we're not alone in this...so maybe..."

[He bit his bottom lip and looked around at the atrium suddenly not as confident in his idea.]

"I know it's a silly idea, but maybe what we need right now is silly."

[Deciding a mass introduction would less painful and awkward the video begins a little unfocused and shaky at first. Yes. He's really that nervous.]

"Um....hi-Hello. My name is Sebastian Carter Hokori-Anderson."

[He really shouldn't have shared his full name he decides suddenly, covering the video image with his hand for a moment. Deep breath and a bit of an adjustment before the video stabilizes again.]

"I'm sort of n-new here. I've been here for a short while. I mean before the Bambi Squad...But I didn't really... I mean I was there. In Yosemite. And here in the Library before...."

[He's not even face to face with anyone so why is this so difficult? Sebastian can feel the signs of an anxiety attack building and tries one last time before cutting off the video.]

"I thought I would introduce myself."

[He can't imagine what else he could possibly say so he immediately ends the video.]

Forgive me, everyone, it is time to call upon you for aid.

[The Librarian looks tired, his eyes darker and not truly focusing on anything in particular. His brow furrows as he bows his head in silent apology to add to his greeting.]

The commotion from our storybook friends has caused doors to be opened and not be closed as tightly as they should. After tasting a bit of freedom to roam, the curiosity is not sated. Now… it seems a few of these characters have escaped from their books and slipped through the cracks into other worlds they do not belong in.

[Turning his head, he taps the side of the screen and visual images of the creatures from Wonderland pop up on the screen next to the image of Wiltshire, England.] It seems that the citizens of Wonderland have made their way into the country of England and where many stories of these creatures have certainly been around for many centuries, the reality of their existence is not so easy to explain.

[The picture changes and images of beautiful silver white horses with horns slide across the screen before another image of the town of Tombstone comes into focus beside it.] Unicorns are a mythical creature that only exist in some worlds, in stories for others… and not at all for some. They are magical creatures, very intelligent… but they should not be in this historical town. I fear that the people are not ready for such a thing and both the people and the animals are in danger of each other.

[The pictures disappear and another comes up of various animals that look like drawn pictures flick across the screen. Soon the images of Yellowstone National park flick up and tile beside it.] There is a children’s story, some may be familiar with… of animals going through life and the trials of growing up. However the trials of the story are not the same as those in reality. They are not for this place and need to go back to their home. After all, a deer, rabbit and skunk are not commonly seen together, nor are they seen talking.

[All the pictures clear as he returns to the video feed.] This is no easy task I ask of you, but these fictional creatures need to be brought back. And more important, they cannot be seen by the inhabitants of the worlds they are entering. I have been masking their presence… the Wonderland creatures are no more than teenagers having a party in an ill chosen spot… The unicorns appear as no more than horses to the people of Tombstone… and the animals from the children’s story look to be real and not as you see them in the picture.

Doing this… takes a great deal of energy and I will not be able to help you further. However, I have sent information to each of you as you will be split into teams and sent through the doors. The Non-Fiction Librarian will guide you. He will lead you through the worlds in his care as best he can. Use your bookmarks to look up information. I have sent the list of teams to each of you…. Please proceed to the doors, prepare yourself…

[The Librarian frowns, his expression almost sad.] Please be safe. There are things that can and will hurt you if you are not careful. I will do all I can from here to keep you safe.

[Texts pop up on the different bookmark feeds with a list of teams as well as the locations that they will find the doors.]

[when the screen flickers to life, a shortish, stylishly dressed Blonde examining the bookmark that was suddenly and very mysteriously in her hand.[

Oh, My.... This is so cool! This looks like a tablet, not as good as mine of course, but with a little work on the inside it could be. [Yes, it might be considered arrogant, but anyone who knew Felicity would know that she is the farthest thing from the truth.]

I don't think I've seen so many real books in one place in my entire life. I love books, but I will admit that I Haven't had that much of an opportunity to really dive into a good book in a very long time. With a the.... things [that's right. there is a pause, because she rarely betrays a friend.

[She looks intently into the camera as if searching for someone or something]

You should really know that I really hate mysteries. They really need to be solved. I should not look like this.... But tell me where is Aurora? [She looks confused as to why she even asked that]

[Say hello to Prince Phillip]
